Consider yourself very lucky you have never been to a prison (or jail) in New York. I assure you the cells look nothing like this.

Well but that's like saying consider yourself lucky to not have been to a Russian or Nigerian jail. American prisons are famously bad and known for it worldwide. I'd compare this cell to a cell in a country that doesn't have a completely broken judicial system and then yeah, it's nothing that special. It's a cell, maybe the bed looks "nice" but at the end of the day it's a place of incarceration not a hotel.
